CHICAGO
[Special Telegram to the Globe.]
CHICAGO, May I.— surprise was in store
for the bears in the grain market to-day, and
those who at the outset were over-anxious to
sell at a further material decline from yester
day's close, were still more anxious to buy
back before the end of the first hour on
'change, at a much higher price. The effect
of Keene's failure was largely over-estimated,
as there was really no reason why it should
chance the course of the Chicago markets in
the least, except, perhaps, slightly in stocks,
and that fact was fully realized by the
shorts long before the close of to-day.
The advance was nothing more than ex
pected by those who were informed as to the
actual situation of the trade, as there was
nothing in the legitimate position of the
market to justify yesterday's decline, which,
as stated in these despatches, was' due al
most entirely to the manipulations of
those who had unloaded on the bulge and
were working for a decline on which to buy
it back, and those of the crowd who took ad
vantage of this break yesterday afternoon
and early to day had occasion to congratu
themselves, while those who stood out, as
many of the large manipulators are supposed
to have done, were greatly disappointed at
the unexpected upturn.
The provision market was strong and high
er, but there were no legitimate reasons for
the advance, except perhaps in lard, where
light stocks were imported, the consumptive
demand being light. The only buying was
by shorts, and the legitimate situation was
weakened by the large arrivals of hogs, the
results for the day amounting to 20,500 and
61,000 since Monday morning. These facts
arc not of a character to encourage buying
far on advances.
The new system of sending out market
quotations, which places them entirely in the
hands of the board, went into operation this
morning, and worked admirably. The board
employs its own reporters and messengers,
making its selection from those previously
employed by the several telegraph companies
and placing the entire department of market
reports under the management of Mr. E. P.
Whitford, formerly manager of the Western
Union board of trade office. The market re
port messengers are distinctively uniformed
by a white canvas cap encircled by a black
band on which are the letters "B. of T."
The course of the wheat market to-day
was a bitter disapointment to the bears, as
they anticipated a sharp decline, based on
lower New York and English markets, but
the result was directly opposite. This being
the first of the month, the regular monthly
settlements deferred the opening of the ses
sion until 10 o'clock, and as the operators
had become well informed as to the unfavor
able situation in other markets the
bears were prepared for a
down raid, and the opening sales were J^@
><fc under yesterday's close at 92J£@92>£c
for June, both prices being accepted at the
game time, and a few reported at 92c, but the
demand to buy was unexpectedly large, in
cluding heavy orders from other points, and
when the bears who were so anxious to sell
at the opening, had unloaded, there was less
realizing, while the demand to buy contin
ued to increase, and although there were
occasional downward movements, they were
quickly followed by an upward reaction, and
the market may be stated as having been
strong through the entire session, and closed
at the highest prices.
A prominent broker said as to the influ
ences affecting the market: "The specula
tive element here, which was advised
of the large purchases here yesterday
afternoon by New York parties,
suspected there was a little game
set for them, and the manipulators
there, taking advantage of the hour and a
half later opening of our board, were sus
pected of depressing New York for the pur
pose of making the crowd here so sick they
would be willing to sell their June
wheat this morning at 90e, but the
boys here 'tumbled to the racket,' and went
through the gauzy blind with a rush, and
opened June at 91J^o and July at 9224 c.
They boomed the market like a flash, selling
July ri-rht straight up to 95)i'c without stop
ping, and New York kept its market at about
$1.10, hoping to demoralize the crowd here,
but the boys showed their mettle and staid,
holding the boom right along, which they
had no trouble in doing, as there had been
created yesterday a considerable short inter
est, and there were numerous buying orders
here from interior points, trying to get in on
the break, and these two influences kept the
market humming right along." »
One of the most noticeable, and at the
game time strongest features of the market,
was its enormous capacity for absorbing and
holding everything offered. Very little of
the wheat bought again came on the market,
which, in the face of the fact that buyers had
good profits, showed they bought with the in
tention of holding, and closing sales were at
94%@94^c, showing an advance of 2}£@
2%c over the opening figures. The receipts
were again light and the shipments heavy,
aggregating 390,000 bushels, and it is esti
mated there will be less than 8,000,000 bush
els of contract grades here at the close of the
week. Stocks at other points are also de
creasing, and advices from London state
that last week's consumption in the United
Kingdom exceeded former deliveries and for
eign imports for the same time by 1,549,000
bushels. The deliveries here on May con
tracts have been liberal, but not so heavy as
expected, and a majority went to parties who
are not likely to again deliver it until taken
for shipment. On the call offerings of
wheat increased and prices declined %@%c,
while on the curb the feeling was weak, and
June declined to 93% c.
Corn was active and higher, but very much
unsettled and prices irregular. The deliveries
of May j contracts were free, but generally
provided for. The receipts were some heavier,
. and shipments continued quite large. The
market opened, unsettled, and some sales
were made at lower prices, but became strong
under active buying, and prices advanced

fluctuations, eased off ' and • finally closed at

on 'change yesterday. Buying at the open
ing was largely to fill orders from the west,
influenced by bad weather, with local buying
soon following. July closed at 55>sc on
'change, dropped %c on the call and recov
ered %c on the curb. V.5 ;
Oats were fairly active on speculative ac
count. There were large deliveries, and
considerable was done in the way of chang
ing. May contracts to June at 1% @ l}£c
premium. The market opened firm on ac
count of other markets being better. There
was and early advance of }£ @ %c over yes
tesday's closing, but the market subsqueutly
declined to yesterday's closing for May, J£c
below it for June and 333 8 c for July. The
last sales on the curb for both options were
at 33c.
A liberal business was transacted in the
provision pit, and a steadier feeling prevail
ed, prices being moderately well supported.
The deliveries of the product on, May con
tracts were quite liberal and readily accepted.
Foreign advices indicated no particular
change in that quarter, and eastern markets
were comparatively steady. Speculative trad
ing was fairly active and the interest center
ed in contracts in June and July. The ship
ping demand was moderate and receipts
were light.
The inquiry for pork was only moderately
active and offerings were not large. The
market opened rather easy and prices ruled
about 5c lower, but rallied again 30@40c and
ruled with considerable steadiness to the
close, which was at §17.47}0 for June. On
the call pork was stronger and advanced 2}jC,
but on the curb fell 10c.
Considerable interest was manifested in
lard, and some little excitement was occa
sioned by the circulation of a report that the
present supply is less than 100,000 tierces,
which is unusually light. The report will be
posted to-morrow, but already the market
has advanced from SS.OO at the opening for
the June option to $3.50 per cwl, where it
stood firm at the close. It is understood
that there are large lines of shorts to he cov
ered in this article, and if the supply is ac
tually as lorn as was rumored to-day, pros
pects of a considerable advance seem immi
nent.
Short ribs were only moderately active and
the offerings were not large. Prices ruled
steadier and 2@se higher. The shipping de
mand was light.
The cattle market ruled slow and prices
weak from first to last. There was scarcely
sufficient Dbusiness transacted to make
quotations. Neither the shippers, dressed
beef operators nor buyers of export cattle
seemed to want fat cattle to-day. There
was a fair demand for butchers' stock and
prices ruled steady. The demand for stock
ers and breeders continues light and the sup
ply is only moderate.
Trade opened rather slow for hogs, and
prices along at first were rather easier. Later
there was a steadier feeling, the market
closing about the same as yesterday, but
with fewer left over.
There was a brisk demand for sheep, and
prices were again a shade higher.
A. M. Wright & Co. say: "So far as regards
wheat, we still adhere to our former convic
tions, that those who buy on soft spots and
stand on their deals have fair assurance of
profit."
W. H. Minor & Co. say: "We consider the
recent decline was but natural after our sharp
advance, and while we may see further weak
places we consider them safe to buy on, as
we cannot discover any features tn the situa
tion that looks like a bear market."
Milinine, Bodman & Co., say: "We may
expect this kind of unsuspected flurries in
the market just so long as New York is in
its present manipulated condition. The
general situation, however, we do not think
justifies any material or permanent advance,
but this makes but little difference while the
speculative element of the whole country is
so active and excited. A very nervous and
uncertain market will be in order, and any
one operating in it now must expect to suffer
some disappointments, with a pretty fair
chance of losing money, but we think the
safest plan now is to buy it on breaks, and
the short side we regard as dangerous ex
cept on very sharp bulges,"
Crosby & Co. say: "The day's action and
business demonstrated that the long stuff was
well held, and it was a matter of surprise
that the early break did not shake it. This
has changed the local feeling to strength,
and the rally was quite a punishment to our
local bears. The bulls, who have been play
ing for a break to buy on, are still left, and
only a few of them have got their wheat
back. We think the break has again fixed
the market for an advance, and it looks
higher."
Interview with S. H. Wood.
Chicago, May I. Mr. S. H. Wood was
questioned by a Globe correspondent to-day
in reference to certain statements published
regarding the circular 'letter from his firm to
their customers, published in Saturdays
Globe : "I wish to say in reference to our
letter to customers that the pointer on the
market was received from one of the leading
houses on the Chicago board of trade
and that we consider it a good one, and in
regard to the membership on the board of
trade, I have very recently purchased a mem
bership on the Chicago board of trade, and if
the Pioneer Press will allow us only sufficient
time to have the membership transferred we
will soon have it on record.
CHICAGO FINANCIAL.
| Special Telepram to the Globe.l
Chicago, May —The demand for money
was a shade more active, larger sums being
required for monthly settlements. Board of
trade interests were the principal borrowers.
There is no falling off in the supply of in
vestment funds. Interest rates continue un
changed at 5@6 per cent, for call, and 6@7
per cent, for time favors. New York ex
change was sparingly offered at 50c premium
per 000. Foreign continues steady at
$4.S6}£ for sixty-day documentary sterling.
A decrease in bank of England rates was
expected, but did not take place, 2% per
cent, being still the rate. To-day's asso
ciated bank clearings were . $8,436,000,
against $7,307,000 yesterday.
NEW YORK.
. [Special Telegram to the Globe.]
New York, May 1. —The market showed
signs of doing better very soon after the open-
Ing. The failure of yesterday seemed for
gotten. Western Union acted rather fickle
during the first hour, as did Union Pacific,
but by one o'clock, everything was on the
advance. Northern Pacific preferred was
the leader and remained strong all day. The
business of the road is booming up so that
its friends seem to have hope that it may
yet be a dividend-paying property. Alton
rose to 123, and Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy to 138 during the morn
ing. There was lively trading
In St. Paul also. The bears came to the
front during the last hour and toppled over
prices in a lively manner. Western Union
dropped two points and the remainder were
considerably unsettled. Mr. Gould was
credited at the last with having engineered
the advance and also with being a free seller
at about the highest points. Speculators in
privileges to-day were bidding 50c on the
dollar for. Mr. Keene's obligations. Stocks
closed excited and weak wiUt- rumors of
ST. PAUL, MINN., FRIDAY MAY 2, 1884.
trouble in Philadelphia and that Western
Union telegraph would commence a war of
rates to-night. , .
■ A. M. Day says: "The market was sup
ported at the opening, and during the fore
noon advanced quite strongly. on evening.
The announcement of a reduction of rates of
exchange caused a further improvement and
a better feeling throughout the last. During
the last hour it was reported that Western
Union had made large cuts in day ratea and
would publish reduced night rates this even
ing. On this Western Union broke. Union
Pacific and Gould stocks rapidly declined,
and the market closed feverish and unset
tled. The strength of Northern Pacific
preferred is probably based on their large in
crease in earnings. During the forenoon,
money getting more active, there appeared
to be no buyers,, but shorts. Our informa
tion is that granger stocks will show an in
crease of earnings this week."
THE RAILROADS.

CLOTHING.
A SOCIAL CHAT
In a quiet corner often brings up the subject of
clothing, and frequently the merchant tailor gets
the credit of providing the suit that was bought
ready-made at the Boston "One-Price" Cloth

credit, but we receive the money, and why not?
Your friend has paid $45 or §50 for his suit, and
you have one equally as good in every respect
(fit included) for 820 or $25. We know of many
instances like the one recorded above, which
speaks volumes for the reputation of our clothing.
